Description

The fundamental purpose of the undergraduate Electronic Engineering and Industrial Automation program is to train professionals who are qualified to carry out multiple activities in the workplace and industry, capable of designing, directing, and coordinating all activities related to electronic engineering and industrial automation. This program provides its students with a superb education that is specific as well as multidisciplinary and transversal, allowing them to easily enter the labor market and adapt well to the changes that will occur throughout their careers.

Career opportunities

Regulated profession: Yes

Current legislation regulates the profession of technical industrial engineer, whose practice requires possession of the corresponding official degree: Law 12/1986, of 1 April, concerning regulation of the professional attributions for architects and technical engineers.

This undergraduate program includes the attributions of the technical industrial engineer, specialty in electronics and industrial automation, according to that stated in Ministerial Order CIN/351/2009, of 9 February, which establishes the requirements for the accreditation of official university degrees that enable entry into the profession of technical industrial engineer.

Likewise, the Bachelor's in Electronic Engineering and Industrial Automation allows access to university master's-level education in industrial engineering, in accordance with that stated in Ministerial Order CIN/311/2009, of 9 February 2009, which confers holders of said masters the qualifications to enter the profession of industrial engineering.

The undergraduate Electronic Engineering and Industrial Automation program is presented in modules and subject matter following Order CIN/351/2009, of 9 February, which establishes the requirements for accreditation of official university degrees that enable entry into the profession of technical industrial engineer. In this manner, the following modules define the program, each of which contains the subject matter that advances the competencies that the cited order marked for them:

In addition to these, there is an additional module, Transversal and Professional Competencies. This contains the elective courses, and allows the student to design the final portion of the curriculum, enhancing the competencies assimilated.

This program is comprised of 240 ECTS credits distributed over 4 academic years. In the first year, the entire general knowledge base necessary for developing engineering is introduced. During it, students consolidate the mathematical, physical, and chemical fundamentals necessary and common to almost all kinds of undergraduate engineering programs. Specific core concepts and technologies of industrial engineering are presented in the second year, which permits establishing the foundations of mechanics, electronics, automation, materials science, and industrial organization. During the final two years, courses specific to the program are given. The program then finishes upon completion of the Final Degree Project, an assignment professional in nature, and one that integrates the competencies acquired throughout the entire university education.

The program's electives are listed in the Courses section, and are part of the Transversal and Professional Competencies Module. This module can be completed either by taking these electives or by recognition for a series of activities such as in-house and external internships, language skills, taking UMH Continuing Education courses, professional work experience, attending university workshops and conferences, etc. For complete information regarding this recognition, click on the following link: http://estudios.umh.es/reconocimiento-creditos/grados/.
